How to Plan for Tariffs?
Use the Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ to compare sourcing scenarios, forecast landed costs, and make confident procurement decisions before you commit.
Four professional Excel workbooks help you compare sourcing scenarios, estimate tariff costs, assess supplier risk, and optimize import decisions. Includes an Executive Priority Action Flowchart and presentation template for stakeholder briefings
Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ Four-Workbook Tariff Scenario Planning & Sourcing Strategy System
Four Excel workbooks plus an executive presentation, built on the Scenario Decision Framework™ scenario mapping, regional risk scoring, duty optimization, and drawback recovery. Compare sourcing strategies and brief leadership with a ranked, board-ready recommendation.
Built for procurement directors, strategic sourcing managers, CFOs, supply chain leaders, importers, and manufacturers.
What’s the best tariff scenario planning software for a procurement team?
The Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ is a four-workbook Excel system built specifically for procurement teams comparing sourcing strategies under tariff uncertainty. Unlike a tariff calculator, which returns one cost number, it runs the Scenario Decision Framework™: frame the scenario, score regional risk across Section 301/232/122 exposure, model duty-optimization savings, calculate drawback recovery, and brief leadership with a ranked, board-ready recommendation. It replaces $20,000-$50,000 in scenario-planning consulting and produces the same output formats a consultant would deliver Excel models, an executive PowerPoint, and a PDF planning guide.

A System for Deciding What to Do Next Not Just What It Costs
Most tariff tools calculate costs. The Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ helps procurement teams decide what to do next compare sourcing strategies, rank regional risk, and model the financial outcome of staying, relocating, or diversifying before you commit supplier spend.
Feed it live HTSUS 2026 rates from the Tariff Auto-Fill Tool™ (TAF-097), or pair it with the Tariff Playbook Suite™ (SKB-027) once you need to execute the response.
Why Manual Scenario Planning Fails Procurement Teams
Should we leave China? Vietnam or Mexico? Which supplier creates the least tariff exposure? Most teams answer these questions with disconnected spreadsheets and a gut call until the board asks for the math.
One Calculation Isn’t a Strategy
A tariff calculator tells you today’s rate. It doesn’t compare five sourcing scenarios, weigh regional risk, or show what happens if Section 301 rates move again next quarter.
Consultants Are Slow and Expensive
A single scenario-planning engagement runs $20,000-$50,000 and takes weeks. By the time the deck is ready, the policy has often changed again.
Nobody Can Defend the Decision Later
Without a documented framework, “why did we choose Vietnam over Mexico” becomes an unanswerable question in the next board meeting.
Four Workbooks, One Scenario Decision Framework™
Each workbook covers one stage of the framework frame, score, model, recover and ends in a dashboard built for a leadership audience.
Strategic Decision Framework Tool
- Scenario Mapping tab frames every tariff scenario against decision criteria

- Regional Risk Dashboard outputs a color-coded heatmap with region rankings
- Built to answer “Vietnam or Mexico?” with a number, not a hunch
- Sample Data Input tab shows a fully worked regional comparison
Tariff Optimization Module

- Finds savings before you renegotiate a single supplier contract
Duty Tariff Drawback Analyzer
- Calculates potential duty drawback recovery on re-exported or destroyed goods
- Dashboard tab outputs recovery projections with filing priority rankings
- Turns past duty payments into a recovery opportunity instead of a sunk cost

How It’s Different
Most tariff tools calculate costs. This system helps procurement teams decide what to do next.
| Most Tariff Calculators | Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ |
|---|---|
| One calculation | Multiple strategic scenarios |
| Cost only | Executive recommendations |
| Static spreadsheet | Structured Scenario Decision Framework™ |
| No prioritization | Ranked sourcing options |
| Individual analysis | Cross-functional planning (procurement, finance, supply chain) |
Use the Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ When…
- Section 301, 232, or 122 rates change and leadership wants options, not just a number
- A supplier price increase forces a build-vs-relocate decision
- You’re comparing sourcing countries Vietnam vs. Mexico vs. staying put
- You’re evaluating nearshoring or reshoring for the first time
- Leadership requests a documented scenario analysis before a board meeting
- You’re building the annual sourcing strategy or budget plan

Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ Frequently Asked Questions
The Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ is a four-workbook Excel system built specifically for procurement teams comparing sourcing strategies under tariff uncertainty. It runs the Scenario Decision Framework™ frame, score, model, recover, brief and produces the same output formats a consultant would deliver: Excel models, an executive PowerPoint, and a PDF planning guide.
Procurement directors, strategic sourcing managers, CFOs, supply chain VPs, and importers or manufacturers who own a sourcing decision, a board presentation, or a P&L impact tied to tariff exposure. It is built for strategic decision support, not legal or customs advisory.
Use it when a single cost number is not enough when Section 301, 232, or 122 rates change and leadership wants options, when you are comparing sourcing countries, evaluating nearshoring or reshoring, or building an annual sourcing strategy that needs to survive a board meeting.
For scenario planning and sourcing decision support, yes for most teams. A comparable scenario-planning engagement from a consulting firm runs $20,000-$50,000 and takes several weeks. The kit packages the same Scenario Decision Framework™ into pre-built Excel workbooks and an executive presentation, deployed the same day you download it.
TIAS-199 is built for exposure visibility dashboards and dynamic tracking once your tariff data is clean. The Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ is built one layer up: it takes that exposure data and runs it through decision frameworks, what-if models, and sourcing evaluators to produce a ranked recommendation, not just a dashboard.
TDM-1299 is the full enterprise operating system ERP integration, implementation tracking, and every tool in the ecosystem connected into one 19-tab system. The Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ is the standalone strategy-tier kit for teams that need scenario planning and sourcing decisions now, without the enterprise implementation.
Yes. Every workbook has a Data Input tab for your own data plus a Sample Data Input tab showing a fully worked example, so your team can learn the workflow before entering live numbers.
No. Every workbook has a manual-entry Tariff Rates tab. If you own the Tariff Auto-Fill Tool™ (TAF-097), the Integration Guide tab shows how to auto-populate verified HTSUS 2026 rates in seconds instead of entering them by hand.
The biggest addition is the Executive Interactive Command Center™ a single file that unifies all four workbooks into one live dashboard with a one-click Presentation Mode. Beyond that: workbook filenames were simplified, Sample Data Input tabs were added alongside Data Input on all four workbooks, the video tutorial script and written user guide were consolidated into a single Walkthrough User Guide PDF, the presentation deck was renamed, the companion guide now ships as a PDF, and the Section 122 overlay context reflects the May 7, 2026 CIT ruling (10% CBP-enforced, currently on appeal).
A self-contained HTML dashboard that reads your own workbook data and turns it into a live scenario tracker, regional risk map, optimization savings view, and drawback recovery view with a one-click Presentation Mode for the boardroom. Upload the real .xlsx workbooks directly, no export or copy-paste needed, and nothing you upload ever leaves your browser. It’s included at no extra cost with every purchase.
Follow the Scenario Decision Framework™: frame the scenario in the Strategic Decision Framework Tool, score regional risk in the Risk Tracker, model savings in the Optimization Module, calculate recovery in the Drawback Analyzer, and brief leadership with the Priority Action Flowchart™.
